How does Amazon Prime Video’s free trial compare to others?

Amazon Prime Video offers a 30-day free trial, which is very generous, especially compared to competitors. For instance, Netflix has no free trial at all, and Max only intermittently offers a seven-day trial. Paramount Plus and Apple TV also have seven-day free trials. 

Having a full month to try Amazon Prime Video gives you a lot of time to binge entire series, check out original movies and test out the live sporting events offered by the platform. Like all free trials, you’ll be automatically charged at its conclusion unless you cancel beforehand.

How to cancel Amazon Prime Video

You can cancel your Amazon Prime Video at any time on the Amazon app or Amazon.com. From the home page, go to the “Your Account” page by clicking on the “Hello, [Your Name] | Account & Lists” link. On the “Your Account” page, click on the “Prime” button. Go to the “Manage Membership” drop-down menu and choose “End Membership.” 

You can also choose “Pause Membership” if you think you might want to continue with Amazon Prime or Amazon Prime Video again in the future.
